Despite being hailed as one of the shining lights in United's 2023/24 season, with 10 goals in 50 appearances, Garnacho has found it tough to hit the same heights this campaign. He squandered two golden opportunities against Chelsea and often lost possession throughout the match.

His performance, along with Marcus Rashford's, was heavily criticised by for their lack of impact and effort. Neville has given a mixed review of the club's young talents on The Gary Neville Podcast, as he said: "I'm not going to dig Rashford and Garnacho out - but I am.

"Because they are two players who have come through the ranks. With that comes some credit, the fact that you're an academy player and you get a level of buy-in from the fans because of that.

"The first ethic is that you have to work hard. I'm not saying that Garnacho and Rashford do not work hard, but they can work harder. I know that. That's in their defensive work - which then, I think, gives you the reward in your attacking play."
